Health Insurance

All students carrying nine credits or more in the Day or Evening Program are required to participate in the student health insurance program. To ensure compliance with the QSHP law, students are automatically billed for the Student Health Insurance Plan.

International Students who are covered by insurance carriers outside the U.S. and by foreign National Health Service programs are deemed not to have coverage comparable to coverage under a qualifying student health insurance program. If you currently have adequate health insurance, you can waive enrollment. First, please review what’s included in the MA Community College Student Health Insurance Plan:

Health Insurance Refund Policy

Except for medical withdrawal due to covered injury or sickness, students withdrawing from the College during the first 31 days of the period for which coverage is purchased shall not be covered under the policy and a full refund of the premium will be made. Students withdrawing after 31 days will remain covered under the policy for which the premium was paid and no refund will be allowed. Students who do not withdraw completely, but who drop below nine credit hours within the first 31 days, may apply to the Student Payment Office for a refund of health insurance premiums. Registering for mini-semester, web courses, Telecourses, and Center for Self-Directed Learning courses later in the fall or spring semester may restore the student’s obligation to carry health insurance.
